“Jim Bopp, its intellectual architect, believes this is a good thing – more money, the better (in campaigns), he says. Reformers (and most voters) disagree. Their battle is over the most-basis ideas of our democracy: at stake – according to both sides – is either the revitalization of politics, or its final capture by the powerful. . . . What Jim Bopp Jr. believes is turning out to matter a whole lot more.” The Atlantic, October 2012

“History's pendulum is now swinging back toward the days when political finances were only lightly regulated, when the system was more open to the cacophonous participation that Jim Bopp loves.” The Atlantic, October 2012

“There is joy in Boppworld. And the prospect of an end to all contribution limits is even more cause for hope. . . . Fewer, bigger donations would allow politicians to spend more time with voters. And voters are the ones who would ultimately control politicians' destinies, punishing the corrupt and rewarding the virtuous. I don't doubt that Bopp believes this. His is an optimistic vision, fundamentally, about Americans and their politics. I hope, if we keep on our present course, that he turns out to be right.” The Atlantic, October 2012
